Blister rusts in China: hosts, pathogens, and management

Korotkoff Sounds - The Improbable also Occurs

Very few discoveries have had such a large impact on and relevance to clinical medicine as the noninvasive measurement of the diastolic blood pressure. A number of gifted physiologists and clinicians were ineffectively in search of a noninvasive method to determine the diastolic pressure. Nonetheless, the quantification of the diastolic BP was not achieved by any of these clinical or physiologi...

Inclusion bodies in nongonococcal urethritis; also skin lesions with inclusions.

In a recent statistical survey of 2,756 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis examined at the Urological Clinic of the Faculty of Medicine in Paris (Hopital Cochin), inclusion bodies were found in 84, i.e., an average of about 3 per cent. In patients suffering from the urethro-conjunctivo-synovial syndrome, we have found, as previously reported by Harkness (1945), inclusion bodies in scrapings fro...

Erwinia-like Microorganisms Isolated from Animal and Human Hosts.

Erwinia-like microorganisms were isolated from the vital organs of more than 40% of a large deer population examined as well as from 13% of a small random sampling. Over a brief period of observation, a similar isolate was recovered from throat cultures of two children and one adolescent. There is no obvious explanation of the presence of the plant pathogen or its significance under these circu...
